The School of Media Studies at The New School invites applications for a full-time, renewable term assistant professor in the field of Media Management. The position will begin on July 1, 2015 with an initial term appointment for three years; after a successful review, additional terms of appointment are possible. The School of Media Studies is strongly committed to diversity in higher education and particularly invites applications from those individuals who can contribute to the diversity and excellence of our intellectual community through research, teaching, and service. The New School, a private university in New York City's Greenwich Village, serves undergraduate and graduate students across a range of fields with a commitment to bringing practices in design and social research to studying issues of our time and challenging students to become engaged citizens dedicated to solving programs and contributing to the public good.
Defining the field of media studies for more than three decades, The School of Media Studies provides a broad curriculum that addresses important contemporary topics, such as the design of creative emergent media, the use of participatory media for social engagement, the study of transnational and urban media environments, the cultural implications of emergent media forms, and the evolution of media over time. The flexible program enables students to study full-time or part-time, onsite in New York, or online elsewhere. Courses are scheduled to accommodate working students. Our program is distinguished by its interdisciplinary breadth and a commitment to creating media in the service of a more just and humane world.
The School of Media Studies offers two graduate programs: an MA in Media Studies, and an MS in Media Management, and two new undergraduate programs submitted to the state for approval: a BA and BS in Media Studies. The School also delivers two graduate certificates in Media Management and Documentary Studies and two undergraduate certificates in Film Production and Screenwriting. Reflecting the dynamism of the field of media, new certificates and areas of focus are also in development. There are currently 500 students in the graduate programs and 60 students in the undergraduate programs. The student body is internationally and ethnically diverse: 35% of the students come from places other than the United States (25 countries).
The School of Media Studies has 21 full-time faculty members whose areas of expertise include documentary studies, digital design, sound studies, political communication, sociology of media, media archeology, robotics, DIY culture, feminism and technology, media arts, media theory, cultural theory and media history.
For this position, we seek candidates from the creative industries who can teach courses in the M.S. Media Management program, a program that currently enrolls over 170 students.
